SIBI-P1 H398-152

it shall be consumed (by eating)

Morphological NotesVerb from root אכל in the Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular. Functions as a future or modal passive: "it/he shall be eaten" or "is to be eaten."
Rendering RationaleThe Niphal stem gives a passive sense of the root אכל (to eat, consume), thus "be eaten" or "be consumed." The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form requires "it shall be" (or "he shall be"), preserving both the passive voice and singular masculine subject indicated by the morphology.
